Maliyah - MOTHER TERESA Lyrics

Now that it's over
I learned all the lessons I would need
Yea the blessings I received
Didn't seem like it at the time
Chaos ensued
Locked in a room
I let god in
As one of the prophets oh
Baby it'll all be okay
Darlin you gon be alright
Promise they will see your name
Shinin in the neon lights
Finally got my feet on pavement
Finally got a new foundation
Maybe the bad situations
Are saviors in disguise

My failures like Mother Theresa
Make me a preacher, make me a preacher
My failures like Mother Theresa
They're gonna teach ya, they're gonna teach ya some things
Ahhhhhh
Mother Teresa
Ahhhhhh
Mother Teresa

There's a place in the midst of utter defeat
Where you're close to the edge and there's nothing between
You and doom
Where no love can grow
And no flower can bloom
Where the world as we know it is flipped on its head
And you'll never be closer to death
But you feel so
Alive
Alive!

My failures like Mother Teresa
Make me a preacher make me a preacher
My failures like Mother Teresa
They're gonna teach ya, they're gonna teach ya some things
Ahhhhhh
Mother Teresa
Ahhhhhh
Mother Teresa
